  • As I initially checked the Wikipedia article for Uyghur Genocide it took me about 1 minute to find that the article had his name spread all over it and the sources it cited. He works for the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, which is funded by the USA.

    Every source you check eventually circles back to him. There is also not really any video or photo evidence, compare this to the terabytes of videos of the gaza genocide. There is like 1 or 2 picture that shows a prison and curled up inmates, this doesnt look good but still better than Guantanamo or the El Salvadorian prisons.

    China accuses the USA of funding terrorists in that region, which also lacks good sources but given the USA track record of funding separatists for regime change for example in 1953 Iran “coup d’état” and the USA listing China as their enemy number 1 e.g. in their newest national security strategy paper, it doesnt seem too far fetched.

    Yes this doesnt mean there cant be possibly any wrong-doing on the Chinese side but the evidence for that is scarce at best and manufactured at worst.

    The one China policy is also a direct result from China winning WW2 against Japan, Japan used to colonize Taiwan and genocided the Chinese. Imagine questioning other results from WW2 like Polands indepence.

    Also the british used to occupy Tibet and looking at other british occupations like Palestine or Sudan (with Egypt) it gets pretty clear that they left nothing but chaos. So given all this history it, to me, seems justified that China wants to keep their country together and looking at satellite pictures from Xinjiang we dont see rivers of blood like in Sudan or thousands of pictures of child amputees like in Palestine.

    Its really convenient how in the West every separatist movement like Catalonia in Spain or the Reichsbürger in Germany is immediately not valid, why all separatist movements of the Wests “adversaries” are immediately legit.

    I’d say I am good in Linux, having it used for 15 years or so, however I needed to research a little bit on how to boot up from USB on my new computer. I ordered it without OS and it somehow still came with a non activated Win11 install and of course safe boot and Microsoft makes sure its really annoying to turn that off.

    Totally see how this would scare off many people, so really cant blame them…




  • Then you have clearly done something wrong, just this morning as I stepped out the train at 5 there was a guy with blue collar clothes, cigarette + energy drink. Fast forward one hour and saw a construction worker with a large coffee, cigarette and croissant. This was in rural Switzerland, but I think its even more common in the cities.



  • Linux became so good at emulating windows apps, it now runs some of them better than windows itself (higher fps, lower power draw), so eventually their will be a port.

    Given that these non native ports run in containers/bottles/whatever and internet access is often limited by default. However internet access is the key for their new business modell.

    Basically Linux users will get the same or better product, without the drawbacks, which reminds me of pirated movies, where only the people actually buying it were made to sit through unskipable commercials.

    Yeah thats right, rather attack the message and argue about technicalities and deflect from the fact that literal fascism was happening back then (and of course is still).

    Fascism is a broad term and can mean anything from anti socialist to nazism, both the german and italian wikipedia articles are pretty clear about that (now go on with “wiKiPedIa iS nOt An aCtUal soUrCe”). Fascio is just the italian word for alliance and Obama continued the use of the Nato alliance that Bush began for Afghanistan. In fact he ordered the deployment of 17000 soldiers to it in whats known as “the surge”.

    We also know that this fascio invoking was based on false and partly manufactured “evidence” (see allegations of weapons of mass destruction), this in itself is straight out the fascist manual, like Poland attacking a German radio station was manufactured to start WW2.

    Obama had 2663 days at war, which is more than Hitler and like Hitler he directly ordered the killing of civilians in other countries. That doesnt mean that he was as bad as Hitler of course, but it means that he is a fascist.

    If you lost a loved one at a wedding that Obama bombed you would use the exact term fitting for Obama, which is fascist.

    Its easy to downplay the daily killing of people on a false premise from a cozy home far away isnt it?

    Your opinion is objectively wrong.





  • Ahh CS and CN gas aka tear gas that is regularly used by police against protestors even in Europe. In Germany you have to be older than 14 to buy some: https://www.alltags-experte.de/reizgas.html

    I mean it is a chemical weapon, but so is gunpowder, dynamite and TNT or the lead in the bullets. On a scale of 1(pepper spray) to 10(certain, gruesome death, close to torture) these tear gases are at most a 2. The thing is that after this 2 there is a void in the scale and the next thing is already a 7. So throwing them into the chemical weapons classification just undermines the actual terrible thing that they usually are.

    Yeah the russia war is really bad, but do we really have to write headlines making it sound terrible that they use tear gas? Here comes the whataboutism: What do we do against police forces who use tear gas? Or when we so strongly condemn the russian tear gas (“chemical weapon”) then its only logical that we sanction the shit out of countries who manufacture and use scale 7+ chemical weapons right? Like white phosphorous being made into shells in the USA, send to Israel, signed by Nikki Haley (Republican aka Nazi party of the USA) and then thrown at starving children in Gaza. Oh no thats called “right to exist and defend themselves”. The hypocrisy is stunning.
